Savannah runs on the world's largest paper mill and a top-four U.S. container port shipping millions of containers a year. PLAN IT supplies the case erectors and palletizing cells that get export-bound product through that port on schedule.
The Port of Savannah handled 4.9 million shipping containers in 2023, and any manufacturer shipping through it needs packaging equipment built to match that pace. The port ranks as North America's fourth-largest container port, and it sits a few miles from what is described as the world's largest paper mill, a packaging-materials plant that anchors the city's industrial base today. That combination, raw packaging materials on one side of town and an export gateway on the other, puts real pressure on manufacturers trying to get cased, palletized product to the port on schedule. Savannah's port economy is not new: the city's original economy, dating to 1733, ran on silk, indigo, and cotton moving through the same waterfront, and a shipbuilding foundry operated in the city from 1912 to 1968, keeping heavy industrial production running alongside the port for more than half a century before today's private-jet manufacturing, construction-equipment operations, and e-commerce distribution facilities took root in the metro.
Our automatic case packers box and case export-bound product at container-port pace, our PackMaster cobot palletizers stack it for the trip to the terminal, and our Mars Series vertical form fill seal (VFFS) machines bag dry and bulk goods moving through the port's manufacturing and distribution base. Export deadlines at the port don't slide for anyone, and neither does our equipment's uptime. The port doesn't wait. Our Georgia location page and our palletizing page cover more of the regional picture. Specs for the VFFS and case-packing lines are on our vertical form fill seal page and our automatic case packers page, and our solutions page explains what it takes to get a case-packing or palletizing cell running against a port deadline. PLAN IT has no location in Savannah itself. Coastal Georgia producers deal with us directly regardless, for the equipment and the service behind it.
